Mobile Location Confirmation

The world in your pocket.

A pause at checkout

The luggage tag on the bag of the person in front of you suggests they just came directly from the airport. You overhear a small problem. “I forgot to notify my bank that I’d be traveling. Here, can you try another card?”

You empathize. If only there was a way for your bank to know, automatically, when you travel.

No more phone calls

Visa has a solution, and it’s in your pocket. The same phone that you use to call your bank, to notify them of an upcoming trip, does it automatically. Visa’s Mobile Location Confirmation platform allows cardholders to enroll with their banks to keep them informed of their movements.

When your phone is with you, it’ll act as another form of identification. In addition to the standard transaction information, your bank will receive the geo-location of your phone and the merchant’s location. Your bank will then use the combination of this information to authorize the transaction.
